Our quest for baby animal photos along Staples Street wasn’t entirely frustrating, as we spotted this pair of Paradise ducks (Tadorna variegata) with three brown and white striped babies. Technically, Paradise shelducks. Paradise shelducks are, obviously, sexually dimorphic, but it’s the female who sports the spectacular white head. Male, female or delicious-looking babies, their colours are amazing, and parries are definitely my favourite not-ducks. Biologists regard shelducks as not ducks, but also not geese, so something in between. To me, looks like big duck rather than a goose, but definitely honks like a goose.
